Hi Heather,

Did you ever get any responses to your question?  Did you go ahead and  
work with parents to present kits in the classroom?  ( something like  
the art museums' "picture programs", I guess.)

Hello

I am working with an elementary school PTA in our area to start an  
in-school
science docent program. I am in search of any information about similar
programs you might have at your location. I am looking for training  
programs
for parents to present kits to their school's classes as enrichment  
during
the school day. I am mostly interested in work with parents and PTAs and
anything outside of working with a school on "formal" curriculum and
instruction.



Does anyone do this? Hope to hear from some of you!
